ABSTRACT:
A vehicular lamp with a first lamp housing and a second lamp housing adjacent to each other. The vehicular lamp further includes a lens having a first lens portion for the first lamp housing, and a second lens portion for the second lamp housing. The first and second lens portions are different in color from each other, and each include flanges which extend rearwardly from respective ends of the first and second lens portions. Each of the flanges includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and a rear end face. The first lens portion and the second lens portion are joined to each other by the outer surfaces of their flanges. A lamp body is provided adjacent the lens, and includes a border portion dividing the lamp body into the first and second lamp housings. Further, an elongated wall is formed in the border portion of the lamp body, and extends along an inner surface of the flange of the first lens portion, to a position which is more forward than a rear end face of that flange. Further, a rib is formed in the border portion of the lamp body, and extends in a direction that is substantially parallel with the elongated wall. The rib extends to a position adjacent the rear ends of the outer surfaces of the flanges which are joined together.
